While at Harbor I was in charge of the day-to-day running of a 35 suite Post Production facility.
Being based in such a large office of edit suites, I worked closely with the tech team and heads of departments.
My duties included- management of interns, preparation of edit suites for clients, managing the movements of dailies from set, coordinating movement of drives within our four other offices, dealing with any and all requests from our clients, and keeping morale up for the weary and bedraggled editors, directors, and assistants who came to me daily for snacks, jokes, and stories.
